I have been following this forum for some time. I have learned that I can not afford the top performing phones that operate in the US. There are some Chinese makes with high end specs that are affordable, but they are not compatible with any of the US networks. I did try a LG2 based of recommendations from this forum, I liked it, but the GPS did not work, so I returned the the phone. So now I am looking again. I am currently comparing the LG2 with the MOTO-G 3rd gen with 2GB RAM. Is there a recommendation between these two? Any other candidates at a similar cost? One additional requirement is that the phone needs to be easily rootable. I need a new phone soon as my GingerBread Galaxy is struggling to keep up.

Agreed. The screen is sizeably bigger, but the overall dimensions are not. I'd only consider the S5's RAM to be adequate if an AOSP ROM was used instead of the stock one.

You can get an LG G3 for cheap-as-hell right now off eBay or other sources. Likely it'll be T-Mobile branded, but it'll be unlocked, and supports all of AT&T's bands (including 17) and is easily rooted (and ROM'd). Other than that, look at a OnePlus One.

Wasn't sure about the overall dimensions but screen size is bigger than mentioned (which is imo a good thing lol).
Id go with a G3 over an S5 anyday for sure though.

Well i had both, and i wouldn't go for any again if you ask me hahah. They are both decent phones, but simply not worth the money. The G3 is nice, but the battery is not so nice whatsoever, and the resolution is too big,it's draining the battery like hell. And the camera is no good too. I had a bad experience with it. And the S5 was also too praised. It was lagging as hell, with both stock and custom ROMs. The fingerprint sensor was unresponsive. The Camera was better than on G3 tho. And the AMOLED screen was beautiful with customisation. But the Dev scene wasn't so good, and i simply don't like the hardware button, i couldn't get used to it.
I also had the Z3, if you guys wan't me to review it, i can. But out of all three i had, nothing can even compare to my OPO.
Re: What should I buy?
iPhone 6s Plus is worth your attention and, if it’s in your budget, a purchase. The camera alone is worth the price of admission — it’s truly great — the glimpse into the future of three dimensional computing is just a bonus.

Hi Force70, you are right! lol Although I recommended iPhone 6S Plus in my last post, I use Android on my Motorola phone and Lenovo tablet.

The first device which pops up in my head is the LG G4 and the EU H815 model has an unlocked Bootloader which is great.

Hi, I'm looking for an Android device around $250 in India. I've shortlisted Moto G 2015, Xiaomi Mi4 and Oneplus X. All 3 models are in my budget. I was going to buy Moto G 2015, but hesitated as I saw the specs of Mi4 which is available for almost the same price in India. So started looking for other models that are in the same price range and yet have better specs than Moto G 2015, and found Oneplus X. Now I'm really confused.
This is not for me. The one to use it wont care about OS version. Only requirement is that the camera is good and it doesn't start lagging after 6 months of use. Also, screen size is preferably <=5 inch. 16GB is enough, wont need more than that.
Any suggestions?

I've already seen the G4 and it isnt that Bad im just not a fan of the LG UI.
Are there any other phones you can recommend?

Oneplus One without expandable storage. But if you ask me 64 gb is more than enough. Battery life is awesome, it supports quickcharge, and camera is great if you ask me.

I had the G3 and X Play is a better and newer option. Go for it, if you don't want other options
I checked the onplus site and it seems that there is no OnePlus one available in Europe but to be honest i would really take the onplus one now.
Got a T-Mobile JUMP upgrade available! What do i get?
I got a GS5 thats Rooted and running great. My wife says I can do an upgrade but what do I get? I want an Android device that is Rootable and has a removable battery. It doesn't have to be a Samsung device and the amount of on-board memory isn't too much of an issue but must have MicroSD expansion.

First post so here goes. I bought myself the elephone p8000 on not quite a whim but not far off. Love the phone, especially the battery life and now I've learnt to flash it, root it and now flash eragon rom I'm really happy with it. For £115 you just can't go wrong although I know people have had problems with it (probably mostly software related).

Compare Motorola Moto G84 vs. Motorola Edge 30 Neo - GSMArena.com

Its a bit older phone, but still nice.
Bit smaller screen size, smaller battery, less RAM, but a better camera, OTG support, and should get Android 14 too.
If the price is right, lower than G84, and you like the phone, go for it.
If the price is the same, and the camera is not in your focus, then get the G84 because it has an amasing battery life, microSD expansion is very nice too.1
Thank you so much for the elaborate response, after 5 days of intense research, I wasn't happy enough with the offers at the 300-400 range, not enough to call the shot, so I ended up lowering the budget to avoid disappointment, and got a poco x6 for 277 euros, is alright, I feel like if I had forked out more for a redmi note 12 pro plus or note 13 pro plus, I would feel disappointed...1
Yeah, what I had in mind though was not so much the risk of bricking your device but things like unlocking the bootloader which on most devices is irreversible -
30mines is either galaxy s3 or galaxy note for t-mobile
